Critics Consensus: Ravenous tries bringing cannibal horror into an Old West setting, ending up with an uneven blend that will fail to satisfy most fans of either genre.

Reviews

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Marya E. Gates

Fans of Hannibal will enjoy the mordant humor and gross, yet slick visuals (and its allusions to the Wendigo myth).

That a major studio (20th Century-Fox) gave this a wide release, despite its gonzo premise and lack of stars, is heartening; that this noble experiment has tanked on arrival is discouraging

Fascinating is how Ravenous occupies various genres throughout and yet never completely gives in to any one of them—it's a ride in that sense.

Obviously [the film] has some really top name actors but... the best thing about this movie is the script writing.

Cannibalism as a metaphor for homosexuality may not seem like the most obvious path to take, but it makes Ravenous a fiendishly interesting entry into the cannibalism sub-genre.
